ATI Pharmocology Exam Fletcher NRSG 106 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

When monitoring a patient who is taking a cholinergic drug, the nurse will watch for which cardiovascular effect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bradycardia. Cholinergic drugs stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to increased acetylcholine activity. Activation of cholinergic receptors in the heart can cause a decrease in heart rate, resulting in bradycardia. Tachycardia (choice
A) and palpitations (choice
B) are more commonly associated with sympathetic stimulation. Vasoconstriction (choice
C) is related to alpha-adrenergic receptor activation, not cholinergic effects.
Therefore, the nurse should monitor for bradycardia as a potential cardiovascular effect of cholinergic drug therapy.
